Nice capture, Ivar. (What's a "Fringer Adapter"?)

Thank you, Brian. A Fringer adapter is an auto-focus adapter from Fringer.com whereas Canon EF lenses shall fit onto a Fuji XF mount.

Thanks Ivar.

I love the short depth of field, and the composition too. I also think that even in Norway it is not so common to come across such a beautiful congregation of birdlife.

Well, occasionally it happens farther north. The Swedes, however, feed them at Hornborgarsjøen by the thousands. When I was there some years ago already, there were more than 20 thousand of them and they made a lot of sounds I tell you.

This would have been incredible to see. I love the cormorants and just learned that cranes are not part of the family, thanks to your photo sparking a bit of investigation.

Cranes are to my knowledge, related to the Herons and Egrets. Wonderful birds indeed.
